“Serenitas Novissime Cataclysmus”

This is no brilliant thought.  It’s not the Old, or a New Testament.  It’s not the Kabbalah.   This isn’t intended to rival Muhammad, Christ, or any other religious honcho.   Half an episode of the first season of True Detective and I am reminded that this is how I feel every time I readContinue reading ““Serenitas Novissime Cataclysmus””
